Hi Binaris,
I am with you that gerrit is much more difficult to handle than svn. I remember that bad time after the switch and I had to make a lot of tries and errors and I was about to give up and leave the project.
As we met us in Berlin decades ago I think you also was a Windows user and I thought that you was more familiar with git/gerrit than I was it that date.
Anyway I have found a nice way to contribute to the gerrit repository: The magic is TortoiseGit, easy to use, graphic UI and some useful
Thank you for the idea! This sounds interesting. But I would have to upload my private key to Toolforge, which sounds bad, wouldn't I?

Hi Bináris
Can you perhaps push from your toolforge user directory? [1] As a
workaround, something like this might work for you.
1. Download the pywikibot zip to your local environment. Apparently
it's Windows in your case, but it can be anything.
2. Make changes to the files. I assume you can run tests as well.
3. Use ssh to login to toolforge, and use git clone to setup a clone
of the pywikibot git repository in your toolforge user directory.
4. Copy the locally changed files to your toolforge user directory.
(Use a rsync or sftp client.)
5. Back to the toolforge shell, commit the changes to the repository
in your toolforge user directory, and push using git review.

# I see the linked phabricator ticket was declined because the
discussion was getting out of scope. I hope this one last message
helps. Otherwise, we probably shouldn't continue talking about
individual setups here as well.
